Our aspiration as a small family-owned lodge is to create one-of-a-kind, highly personalised moments for each and every guest, forging an emotional connection and making our lodge feel like a luxurious home away from home. Find out more about our vision, our commitment to the environment, and the incredible people who make Stoneridge what it is.
Since the founding stones of the lodge were laid, we have striven to create extraordinary and unforgettable experiences for our guests. From our unique architecture and heritage to our warm, personalised service, our tranquil setting to our locally-sourced food and wine, every aspect of the estate has been thoughfully crafted to make your time with us exceptional.
Nestled in our very own floral oasis, and in the wider stunning New Zealand landscape, we respect the land and local community that has been the home to generations of families before us.
We are committed to sustainable and environmentally-friendly business practices; produce is responsibly sourced from hand-picked regional suppliers, and we have invested in solar panels to support our energy consumption. We sort all recycling and have implemented a range of measures to minimise waste, including reducing use of single-use plastics and paper throughout the business.
We support local businesses for procurement of food, wine and services wherever possible, and back local charities through donations and partnerships to host fundraising events on the estate.
Here at Stoneridge, our team is at the heart of everything we do. From our visionary owners and dedicated managers to our fantastic front-of-house staff who ensure you have a wonderful time from your arrival to your departure, we are committed to providing a truly exceptional experience.
